    I recently read a dictionary’s definition of the verb ‘bully’ as “[to] use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.” (MW Dict.) The article titled “Defining Bullying Down” by Emily Bazelon describes how the issue of bullying will never be solved if we continue to describe such a wide array of behaviors as bullying. Bazelon states that since it’s common to label everything from schoolyard teasing to harassment and intense violence as bullying, we can’t teach victims and bystanders how to stop it. Studies have shown that the best way to stop bullying is to deem it unacceptable. By shaming the behavior itself, we embarrass the perpetrator so they will think twice before doing…

When I moved to Arizona everyone welcomed us with open arms but I was teased because my accent was different from others. When I moved to Maryland I was in the third grade and again teased for having a accent. I dealt with people calling me “White Girl” because I was light skin with very long…

    When I reflect on my adolescent years, I remember racing home from school each day, eager to meet up with my best friend so we could just “hang out.” In a sense, not much has changed for adolescents today; they are still just as eager to socialize with their friend's. However, now they don’t meet up at each other’s houses and hang out in their neighborhood, the way my best friend and I use to. Instead, they hang out together online and their neighborhood resides in their smartphone. This is the message that is conveyed in chapter two of the book, Bullying Beyond the Schoolyard by Sameer Hinduja and Justin W. Patchin. In this chapter, the authors move away from discussing what cyberbullying entails in pursuance of looking at some of the places…
